Soap Define Types

ecuguru has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hi gurus
I'm passing parameters in a soap call that are being auto-classed to something other than I'd like. My code is:

SOAP::Data->value(SOAP::Data->new->name('ID' => '0001')),SOAP::Data->value(SOAP::Data->new->name('pin' => '00001')) And they are getting encoded as integers, not strings:

        <facilityPin xsi:type="xsd:int">0001</facilityPin>
        <personalPin xsi:type="xsd:int">00001</personalPin>

Anyway to define that I want those values passed as strings instead of integers? It seems to be auto-determining, which is very very cool, but the receiving code isn't handling the int correctly.

Full Code

    $service -> AuthenticateUser();
    my $som = $service -> call (SOAP::Data->name('AuthenticateUser')->
+attr({xmlns => 'http://test.live.org/WS/'}),SOAP::Data->value(SOAP::D
+ata->new->name('id' => '0001')),SOAP::Data->value(SOAP::Data->new->na
+me('pin' => '00001')),SOAP::Data->value(SOAP::Data->new->name('user' 
+=> 'user')),SOAP::Data->value(SOAP::Data->new->name('pass' => 'pass')
+))||&soapGetBad();

SOAP::Data

type(new type, optional value)

        $obj->type('int');

    Gets or sets the type associated with the current value in the obj
+ect. This is useful for those cases where the SOAP::Data object is us
+ed to explicitly specify the type of data that would otherwise be int
+erpreted as a different type completely (such as perceiving the strin
+g 123 as an integer, instead). Allows the setting of the object's val
+ue, if passed as a second argument to the method.
